Continental Commercial Vehicles & Aftermarket, a supplier of systems and components to automobile and truck manufacturers and the provider of Electronic Log technology, offers an Electronic Log Device (ELD) solution that is compatible with mechanical ignition vehicles and those that pre-date diagnostic ports, as well as trucks with the newer 9-pin or 6-pin diagnostic ports. The ability to customize the wiring configuration allows VDO RoadLog ELD to be used on both old and new trucks.
Many current electronic logging devices are only compatible with 9-pin and 6-pin wiring port configurations. VDO RoadLog ELD is compatible with both late-model trucks, as well as those that pre-date J1708 and J1939 can bus. The broader options offered by VDO RoadLog allow drivers of older vehicles to be ready for the implementation of ELD regulations in 2015. VDO RoadLog also allows fleets to use one electronic log system for both older trucks and those with current technology.
In addition to offering options in wiring compatibility, VDO RoadLog features a flexible software design that can be updated as HOS and electronic log regulations continue to evolve, ensuring that fleets are always in compliance with the most up to date regulations.
According to Jeff Waterstreet, sales manager for VDO RoadLog, “You can be sure that RoadLog has you covered, yesterday, today and tomorrow. VDO RoadLog features flexible software design that can be updated as HOS and electronic log regulations continue to evolve, ensuring you are always in compliance.” Waterstreet adds, “RoadLog is the only electronic logging device on the market with a self-contained, on-board thermal printer that can automatically produce a paper log to help drivers get through inspection stops quickly.”
VDO RoadLog is a breakthrough in log automation and one of the first stand-alone ELDs offered in North America, providing an affordable, easy-to-use, plug-and-play solution for compliance reporting. RoadLog combines GPS data with input from the vehicle to create a digital log that the driver can either download or print out as needed.
The VDO RoadLog brings innovation to logbook automation and fleet management with an expanded range of new products and services. The portfolio now offers online and mobile connectivity for both fleets and owner operators that will not only improve operational efficiency for drivers and fleet managers, but also make the workload easier and less stressful, according to the company.
